Mainstream Renewable Power, a global wind and solar company majority-owned by Aker Horizons ASA, announced that KF Wind, its joint venture with Ocean Winds, has secured a Transmission Service Agreement (TSA) with Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO). The agreement will deliver 1,125 MW of clean energy from KF Wind’s floating offshore wind project off the coast of Ulsan into Korea’s national grid.

The TSA covers the first phase of the project, East Blue Power (375 MW), and the second phase, KF Wind (750 MW), with the interconnection point located at KEPCO’s Shinonsan onshore station in Ulsan.

This grid interconnection will allow efficient transmission of the 1,125 MW of clean power, ensuring a stable supply and maximizing the project’s contribution to Korea’s energy grid. KF Wind is progressing with site development, having received approval for Environmental Impact Assessments from Korea’s Ministry of Environment, Trade, and Industry.

Upon completion, the Ulsan floating offshore wind farm cluster, including KF Wind, is expected to reach around 6 GW, making it the world’s largest floating offshore wind area and a key contributor to Korea’s carbon neutrality goals.
